Grant Wood's Studio

Explore this virtual studio filled with paintings and decorative art made by Grant Wood!

All of the works shown here, including the iconic painting American Gothic, are included in the special exhibition Grant Wood's Studio: Birthplace of American Gothic at the Renwick Gallery beginning March 10, 2006.

This exhibition will, for the first time, present Grant Wood's decorative art and design work within the larger context of his paintings, drawings, and prints. The exhibition coincides with the renovation of the artist's historic studio in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, known as 5 Turner Alley, where he lived and worked from 1924 to 1935. Wood converted the loft of this turn-of-the-century carriage house into a showcase for his decorative arts work and a backdrop for some of his most famous paintings.

Jane Milosch, curator at the Renwick Gallery, is the curator of the exhibition. Grant Wood's Studio: Birthplace of American Gothic is presented under the Honorary Patronage of Congressman Jim Leach and Deba Leach.
